Listener:: DDS::DataWriterListener

A DDS::DataWriter is attached to exactly one DDS::Publisher, that acts as a factory for it.

A DDS::DataWriter is bound to exactly one DDS::Topic and therefore to exactly one data type. The DDS::Topic must exist prior to the DDS::DataWriter's creation.

DDS::DataWriter is an abstract class. It must be specialized for each particular application data-type (see USER_DATA). The additional methods or functions that must be defined in the auto-generated class for a hypothetical application type Foo are specified in the example type DDS::DataWriter.

The following operations may be called even if the DDS::DataWriter is not enabled. Other operations will fail with DDS::Retcode_NotEnabled if called on a disabled DDS::DataWriter:

Several DDS::DataWriter may operate in different threads. If they share the same DDS::Publisher, the middleware guarantees that its operations are thread-safe.

void DDS::DataWriter::assert_liveliness ( )

This operation manually asserts the liveliness of this DDS::DataWriter.

This is used in combination with the LIVELINESS policy to indicate to RTI Connext that the DDS::DataWriter remains active.

You only need to use this operation if the LIVELINESS setting is either ::DDS::LivelinessQosPolicyKind::MANUAL_BY_PARTICIPANT_LIVELINESS_QOS or ::DDS::LivelinessQosPolicyKind::MANUAL_BY_TOPIC_LIVELINESS_QOS. Otherwise, it has no effect.

Note: writing data via the DDS::TypedDataWriter::write or DDS::TypedDataWriter::write_w_timestamp operation asserts liveliness on the DDS::DataWriter itself, and its DDS::DomainParticipant. Consequently the use of assert_liveliness() is only needed if the application is not writing data regularly.

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes or DDS::Retcode_NotEnabled

See Also: DDS::LivelinessQosPolicy

virtual void DDS::DataWriter::get_matched_subscription_locators ( LocatorSeq^ locators )

virtual

<<eXtension>> Retrieve the list of locators for subscriptions currently "associated" with this DDS::DataWriter.

Matched subscription locators include locators for all those subscriptions in the same domain that have a matching DDS::Topic, compatible QoS and common partition that the DDS::DomainParticipant has not indicated should be "ignored" by means of the DDS::DomainParticipant::ignore_subscription operation.

The locators returned in the locators list are the ones that are used by the DDS implementation to communicate with the corresponding matched DDS::DataReader entities.

Parameters

locators <<inout>>. Handles of all the matched subscription locators.

The sequence will be grown if the sequence has ownership and the system has the corresponding resources. Use a sequence without ownership to avoid dynamic memory allocation. If the sequence is too small to store all the matches and the system can not resize the sequence, this method will fail with DDS::Retcode_OutOfResources. Cannot be NULL..

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes, or DDS::Retcode_OutOfResources if the sequence is too small and the system can not resize it, or DDS::Retcode_NotEnabled

void DDS::DataWriter::get_matched_subscriptions ( InstanceHandleSeq^ subscription_handles )

Retrieve the list of subscriptions currently "associated" with this DDS::DataWriter.

Matched subscriptions include all those in the same domain that have a matching DDS::Topic, compatible QoS and common partition that the DDS::DomainParticipant has not indicated should be "ignored" by means of the DDS::DomainParticipant::ignore_subscription operation.

The handles returned in the subscription_handles list are the ones that are used by the DDS implementation to locally identify the corresponding matched DDS::DataReader entities. These handles match the ones that appear in the DDS::SampleInfo::instance_handle field of the DDS::SampleInfo when reading the DDS::SubscriptionBuiltinTopicDataTypeSupport::SUBSCRIPTION_TOPIC_NAME builtin topic.

Parameters

subscription_handles <<inout>>. Handles of all the matched subscriptions.

The sequence will be grown if the sequence has ownership and the system has the corresponding resources. Use a sequence without ownership to avoid dynamic memory allocation. If the sequence is too small to store all the matches and the system can not resize the sequence, this method will fail with DDS::Retcode_OutOfResources.

The maximum number of matches possible is configured with DDS::DomainParticipantResourceLimitsQosPolicy. You can use a zero-maximum sequence without ownership to quickly check whether there are any matches without allocating any memory. Cannot be NULL..

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes, or DDS::Retcode_OutOfResources if the sequence is too small and the system can not resize it, or DDS::Retcode_NotEnabled

void DDS::DataWriter::get_matched_subscription_data	(	SubscriptionBuiltinTopicData^	subscription_data,
		InstanceHandle_t%	subscription_handle
	)

This operation retrieves the information on a subscription that is currently "associated" with the DDS::DataWriter.

The subscription_handle must correspond to a subscription currently associated with the DDS::DataWriter. Otherwise, the operation will fail and fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter. Use DDS::DataWriter::get_matched_subscriptions to find the subscriptions that are currently matched with the DDS::DataWriter.

Note: This operation does not retrieve the following information in DDS::SubscriptionBuiltinTopicData:

DDS::SubscriptionBuiltinTopicData::type_code
::DDS::SubscriptionBuiltinTopicData::property
DDS::SubscriptionBuiltinTopicData::content_filter_property

The above information is available through DDS::DataReaderListener::on_data_available() (if a reader listener is installed on the DDS::SubscriptionBuiltinTopicDataDataReader).

Parameters

subscription_data	<<inout>>. The information to be filled in on the associated subscription. Cannot be NULL.
subscription_handle	<<in>>. Handle to a specific subscription associated with the DDS::DataReader. Cannot be NULL.. Must correspond to a subscription currently associated with the DDS::DataWriter.

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes, or DDS::Retcode_NotEnabled

void DDS::DataWriter::get_matched_subscription_participant_data	(	ParticipantBuiltinTopicData^	participant_data,
		InstanceHandle_t%	subscription_handle
	)

This operation retrieves the information on the discovered DDS::DomainParticipant associated with the subscription that is currently matching with the DDS::DataWriter.

The subscription_handle must correspond to a subscription currently associated with the DDS::DataWriter. Otherwise, the operation will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter. The operation may also fail with DDS::Retcode_PreconditionNotMet if the subscription corresponds to the same DDS::DomainParticipant that the DataWriter belongs to. Use DDS::DataWriter::get_matched_subscriptions to find the subscriptions that are currently matched with the DDS::DataWriter.

Note: This operation does not retrieve the ::DDS::ParticipantBuiltinTopicData::property.

The above information is available through DDS::DataReaderListener::on_data_available() (if a reader listener is installed on the DDS::SubscriptionBuiltinTopicDataDataReader).

Parameters

participant_data	<<inout>>. The information to be filled in on the associated participant Cannot be NULL.
subscription_handle	<<in>>. Handle to a specific subscription associated with the DDS::DataReader. Cannot be NULL.. Must correspond to a subscription currently associated with the DDS::DataWriter.

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes, or DDS::Retcode_NotEnabled

Topic ^ DDS::DataWriter::get_topic ( )

This operation returns the DDS::Topic associated with the DDS::DataWriter.

This is the same DDS::Topic that was used to create the DDS::DataWriter.

Returns: DDS::Topic that was used to create the DDS::DataWriter.

Publisher ^ DDS::DataWriter::get_publisher ( )

This operation returns the DDS::Publisher to which the DDS::DataWriter belongs.

Returns: DDS::Publisher to which the DDS::DataWriter belongs.

void DDS::DataWriter::wait_for_acknowledgments ( Duration_t max_wait )

Blocks the calling thread until all data written by reliable DDS::DataWriter entity is acknowledged, or until timeout expires.

This operation blocks the calling thread until either all data written by the reliable DDS::DataWriter entity is acknowledged by (a) all reliable DDS::DataReader entities that are matched and alive and (b) by all required subscriptions, or until the duration specified by the max_wait parameter elapses, whichever happens first. A successful completion indicates that all the samples written have been acknowledged by all reliable matched data readers and by all required subscriptions; a return value of TIMEOUT indicates that max_wait elapsed before all the data was acknowledged.

Note that if a thread is blocked in the call to wait_for_acknowledgments on a DataWriter and a different thread writes new samples on the same DataWriter, the new samples must be acknowledged before unblocking the thread waiting on wait_for_acknowledgments.

If the DDS::DataWriter does not have DDS::ReliabilityQosPolicy kind set to RELIABLE, this operation will complete immediately with RETCODE_OK.

Parameters

max_wait <<in>> Specifies maximum time to wait for acknowledgements DDS::Duration_t .

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes, DDS::Retcode_NotEnabled, DDS::Retcode_Timeout

void DDS::DataWriter::wait_for_asynchronous_publishing ( Duration_t max_wait )

<<eXtension>> Blocks the calling thread until asynchronous sending is complete.

This operation blocks the calling thread (up to max_wait) until all data written by the asynchronous DDS::DataWriter is sent and acknowledged (if reliable) by all matched DDS::DataReader entities. A successful completion indicates that all the samples written have been sent and acknowledged where applicable; a time out indicates that max_wait elapsed before all the data was sent and/or acknowledged.

In other words, this guarantees that sending to best effort DDS::DataReader is complete in addition to what DDS::DataWriter::wait_for_acknowledgments provides.

If the DDS::DataWriter does not have DDS::PublishModeQosPolicy kind set to ::DDS::PublishModeQosPolicyKind::ASYNCHRONOUS_PUBLISH_MODE_QOS the operation will complete immediately with ::DDS::Exception::RETCODE_OK.

Parameters

max_wait <<in>> Specifies maximum time to wait for acknowledgements DDS::Duration_t .

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes, DDS::Retcode_NotEnabled, DDS::Retcode_Timeout

void DDS::DataWriter::set_qos ( DataWriterQos^ qos )

Sets the writer QoS.

This operation modifies the QoS of the DDS::DataWriter.

The DDS::DataWriterQos::user_data, DDS::DataWriterQos::deadline, DDS::DataWriterQos::latency_budget, DDS::DataWriterQos::ownership_strength, DDS::DataWriterQos::transport_priority, DDS::DataWriterQos::lifespan and DDS::DataWriterQos::writer_data_lifecycle can be changed. The other policies are immutable.

Parameters

qos <<in>> The DDS::DataWriterQos to be set to. Policies must be consistent. Immutable policies cannot be changed after DDS::DataWriter is enabled. The special value DDS::Publisher::DATAWRITER_QOS_DEFAULT can be used to indicate that the QoS of the DDS::DataWriter should be changed to match the current default DDS::DataWriterQos set in the DDS::Publisher. Cannot be NULL.

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes, DDS::Retcode_ImmutablePolicy or DDS::Retcode_InconsistentPolicy

See Also: DDS::DataWriterQos for rules on consistency among QoS; set_qos (abstract); Operations Allowed in Listener Callbacks

void DDS::DataWriter::set_qos_with_profile	(	System::String^	library_name,
		System::String^	profile_name
	)

<<eXtension>> Change the QoS of this writer using the input XML QoS profile.

This operation modifies the QoS of the DDS::DataWriter.

The DDS::DataWriterQos::user_data, DDS::DataWriterQos::deadline, DDS::DataWriterQos::latency_budget, DDS::DataWriterQos::ownership_strength, DDS::DataWriterQos::transport_priority, DDS::DataWriterQos::lifespan and DDS::DataWriterQos::writer_data_lifecycle can be changed. The other policies are immutable.

Parameters

library_name	<<in>> Library name containing the XML QoS profile. If library_name is null RTI Connext will use the default library (see DDS::Publisher::set_default_library).
profile_name	<<in>> XML QoS Profile name. If profile_name is null RTI Connext will use the default profile (see DDS::Publisher::set_default_profile).

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes, DDS::Retcode_ImmutablePolicy or DDS::Retcode_InconsistentPolicy

See Also: DDS::DataWriterQos for rules on consistency among QoS; Operations Allowed in Listener Callbacks

void DDS::DataWriter::get_qos ( DataWriterQos^ qos )

void DDS::DataWriter::flush ( )

<<eXtension>> Flushes the batch in progress in the context of the calling thread.

After being flushed, the batch is available to be sent on the network.

If the DDS::DataWriter does not have DDS::PublishModeQosPolicy kind set to ::DDS::PublishModeQosPolicyKind::ASYNCHRONOUS_PUBLISH_MODE_QOS, the batch will be sent on the network immediately (in the context of the calling thread).

If the DDS::DataWriter does have DDS::PublishModeQosPolicy kind set to ::DDS::PublishModeQosPolicyKind::ASYNCHRONOUS_PUBLISH_MODE_QOS, the batch will be sent in the context of the asynchronous publishing thread.

This operation may block in the same conditions as DDS::TypedDataWriter::write.

If this operation does block, the RELIABILITY max_blocking_time configures the maximum time the write operation may block (waiting for space to become available). If max_blocking_time elapses before the DDS_DataWriter is able to store the modification without exceeding the limits, the operation will fail with DDS_RETCODE_TIMEOUT.

MT Safety:: flush() is only thread-safe with batching if DDS::BatchQosPolicy::thread_safe_write is TRUE.

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes, DDS::Retcode_Timeout, DDS::Retcode_OutOfResources or DDS::Retcode_NotEnabled.

This operation enables the Entity. Entity objects can be created either enabled or disabled. This is controlled by the value of the ENTITY_FACTORY QoS policy on the corresponding factory for the DDS::Entity.

By default, ENTITY_FACTORY is set so that it is not necessary to explicitly call DDS::Entity::enable on newly created entities.

The DDS::Entity::enable operation is idempotent. Calling enable on an already enabled Entity returns OK and has no effect.

If a DDS::Entity has not yet been enabled, the following kinds of operations may be invoked on it:

set or get the QoS policies (including default QoS policies) and listener
DDS::Entity::get_statuscondition
'factory' operations
DDS::Entity::get_status_changes and other get status operations (although the status of a disabled entity never changes)
'lookup' operations

Other operations may explicitly state that they may be called on disabled entities; those that do not will return the error DDS::Retcode_NotEnabled.

It is legal to delete an DDS::Entity that has not been enabled by calling the proper operation on its factory.

Entities created from a factory that is disabled are created disabled, regardless of the setting of the DDS::EntityFactoryQosPolicy.

Calling enable on an Entity whose factory is not enabled will fail and return DDS::Retcode_PreconditionNotMet.

If DDS::EntityFactoryQosPolicy::autoenable_created_entities is TRUE, the enable operation on a factory will automatically enable all entities created from that factory.

Listeners associated with an entity are not called until the entity is enabled.

Conditions associated with a disabled entity are "inactive," that is, they have a trigger_value == FALSE.

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes, Standard Return Codes or DDS::Retcode_PreconditionNotMet.

Implements DDS::Entity.

virtual StatusCondition ^ DDS::DataWriter::get_statuscondition ( )

overridevirtual

Allows access to the DDS::StatusCondition associated with the DDS::Entity.

The returned condition can then be added to a DDS::WaitSet so that the application can wait for specific status changes that affect the DDS::Entity.

Returns: the status condition associated with this entity.

Implements DDS::Entity.

virtual StatusMask DDS::DataWriter::get_status_changes ( )

overridevirtual

Retrieves the list of communication statuses in the DDS::Entity that are triggered.

That is, the list of statuses whose value has changed since the last time the application read the status using the get_*_status() method.

When the entity is first created or if the entity is not enabled, all communication statuses are in the "untriggered" state so the list returned by the get_status_changes operation will be empty.

The list of statuses returned by the get_status_changes operation refers to the status that are triggered on the Entity itself and does not include statuses that apply to contained entities.

Returns: list of communication statuses in the DDS::Entity that are triggered.

Implements DDS::Entity.

virtual InstanceHandle_t DDS::DataWriter::get_instance_handle ( )

overridevirtual

Allows access to the DDS::InstanceHandle_t associated with the DDS::Entity.

This operation returns the DDS::InstanceHandle_t that represents the DDS::Entity.

Returns: the instance handle associated with this entity.

Implements DDS::Entity.
